The 3rd Fabula Festival of 2006 took place in Ljubljana, Maribor, Postojna, Izola-Isola and Koper. In three weeks the festival hosted 10 world-famous writers - Milorad Pavić from Serbia, Miljenko Jergović, Krešimir Mišanović, Krešimir Bagić and Robert Perišić from Croatia, Claudio Magris and Diego Marani from Italy, Georgi Gospodinov from Bulgaria, Kader Abdolah from the Netherlands, and Toby Litt from the United Kingdom - who presented their work at more than 20 literary events. A public discussion entitled Dramatisation of Novels took place at the Slovene National Theatre (SNG) Ljubljana - Drama, followed by the play Severni sij ('Northern Lights') by Drago Jančar, performed by the Slovene National Theatre (SNG) Maribor and directed by Mile Korun. Also accompanying the festival were a panel discussion about Slovene and Croatian fiction entitled Jeziki mesta ('Urban Languages'), and a conference on film stories. In 2007 the theme of the festival was 'The Death' and the festival featured some panel discussions involving artists, doctors, sociologists and anthropologists.
The festival takes place several cities round Slovenia. In 2006 it took place in Ljubljana (Cankarjev dom, Gajo Jazz Club, SNG Ljubljana - Drama and Konzorcij Bookstore), Maribor (KIBLA Multimedia Centre), Postojna (Postojna Culture House and Jama Hotel), Izola-Isola (Libris Bookstore), Koper-Capodistria (Libris Bookstore) and Novo mesto (LokalPatriot).
